Oasis tickets bought with dynamic pricing are on 'ethical' resale websites abroad for over €560
The Journal
has
previously reported that tickets for the sold out
shows have been resold on Ticketmaster for close to €600, but new searches ahead of the weekend gigs have shown they are also being sold on resale platforms based in the UK and Australia.
UK-based Twickets is
the official resale platform
for the 41-concert Oasis '25 tour, with the website only allowing tickets to be resold at the face value paid 'plus a standard booking fee between 10-15%'.
The website states:
Twickets is an ethical ticket resale marketplace, enabling users to sell spare tickets at the price they paid, or less. We have partnered with Oasis as their official ticket resale platform to protect fans from being ripped off by profiteering resale sites that encourage ticket touting.
A search of Twickets for the Dublin gigs showed tickets available listed at between €357 and €515.
Several of these tickets are described as being originally sold by Ticketmaster as 'In Demand' tickets, which was the description used for the
dynamic pricing model that was controversially
used for some tickets when they went on sale last year.
Dynamic pricing essentially describes a fluctuating price which rises with increased demand and, in the case of Oasis tickets, led to fans paying hundreds of euros for tickets.

It is unclear exactly how many of the tickets sold for the Croke Park gigs were bought via fixed pricing or via dynamic pricing, but much of what is available through resale websites are clearly dynamically priced tickets being resold.
Twickets states this explicitly in listings, saying: 'These are standard tickets sold at varying prices by the original retailer, which may be much greater than other similar tickets.'
In the case of two tickets being resold which
The Journal
saw this week, one was a dynamically priced ticket for the Lower Cusack Stand which originally sold for
€490
but which was now available for
€515
.
The other was an Upper David Stand ticket which sold via dynamic pricing for
€332
and was now available for
€357
.
In these cases, the resale prices are 5% and 7% above the original face value prices, respectively.

The resale of tickets above face value
has been banned in Ireland since 2021
and, as a result, Oasis tickets being sold at inflated prices has largely not been prevalent on online marketplaces such as Adverts.ie.
Adverts.ie, whose owner has common shareholders with Journal Media,
states on its website
that all ticket sales must be 'at face value (plus booking fee and additional costs) or less' and that 'moderators reserve the right to remove any ad that is deemed excessive'.
In one case,
The Journal
viewed an ad listed by a seller on Adverts.ie which said that they were selling a ticket on another website, Tixel, before the Adverts.ie post was removed.
Australian-headquartered
Tixel operates across a number of territories
and allows sellers to list tickets for resale at a prices that are capped at 20% above face value.

The Oasis ticket scramble has put 'dynamic pricing' back in the news: What exactly is it?
'This allows sellers to cover the fees associated with listing a ticket on Tixel as well as regain the face value they paid for the ticket,' the website states.
Tixel takes
a cut of 5.9% of the purchase price
and the company says it has a 'mission' to be 'fair, accessible, and transparent'.
'We've built an event marketplace that helps fans get to their favourite shows without paying through the nose to be there,' the website adds.

Liam Gallagher pays sweet tribute to Irish mammy at Croker
Oasis kicked off their two sold out gigs at Croke Park on Saturday and not without a sweet tribute to their beloved Irish mammy, Peggy. Packed buses and trains made their way to Dublin on Saturday as excitement culminated at the home of the GAA for the reunion of once-feuding brothers, Noel and Liam. The brothers, who fell out in 2009, reunited last month for a string of gigs as part of Live 25 and paid homage to their Mayo roots as they played to avid fans at Croke Park. Liam and Noel Gallagher at the opening night of Oasis Live 25′ Tour. Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Two tributes took place on the night — one for the people of Charlestown, where their mother is from, and a second specifically to their mother. At the gig, Liam wondered: 'Anyone here from Mayo, Charlestown?' As with anything the musician said on the night, there were plenty of cheers, with the 52-year-old quick to remark: 'There's only about five people there, you can't all be f*cking from there.' @ Dublin vibes in the area. 🎥 therealnoelyg#oasis #upinthesite #OasisLive25 #noelgallagher #liamgallagher ♬ suono originale – Oasis UpInTheSite The band dedicated Stand By Me to Peggy, who was amongst concertgoers on the night – sure to have been beaming to see her sons back on stage together. Saturday saw the Gallagher brothers' reunite on stage on Irish soil for the first time in 16 years, with former band members Andy Bell, Gem Arche and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs also back in action for the monumental moment. The Manchester lads last played Ireland in 2009, when they headlined at Slane Castle, in Co Meath, performing there to over 80,000 fans.

Pic: TikTok If you are one of the lucky ones with your mitts on one of the golden tickets to either Saturday or Sunday's shows, then you need to know a few things in advance of arriving at Croker, in order to have the best experience possible. Gardaí are urging fans to follow their Oasis Concert Croke Park Traffic Managment Plan, and to take heed of signage in and around Croke Park, as roads will be closed all around the venue. Gardaí and stewards will be on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly for concert attendees. Doors opened at 5pm on Saturday, and will do so again on Sunday, with the show getting underway from 6pm with support acts Richard Ashcroft (formerly of The Verve) and Liverpudlian band Cast.

‘I chose my Confirmation name after my favourite footballer. In retrospect, it's pretty funny'
How agreeable are you? I'm a fairly certain type of person, overall. I wouldn't think that I'm swayed too much when I have a certain way of thinking. I'm quite laid-back, as well, and I don't take anything too seriously. Why? It's probably the job I do, but I just don't think life should be taken too seriously; I think you should enjoy your life. What's your middle name and what do you think of it? My name is David Stephen McCready. For my Confirmation name, however, I picked Gerard, so my full name is David Stephen Gerard McCready. As a kid, it was, like, I had to do it because Steven Gerrard was my favourite footballer . In retrospect, it's pretty funny. It was a bit of a gimmick back then, so it's not something I carry around any more. Where is your favourite place in Ireland? I went to college in Galway for three years. Two of those were during Covid, so I didn't get the full college experience, but there isn't a nicer place in Ireland than Galway on a sunny day. The people there are pretty laid-back as well, which suits me. Describe yourself in three words Chill, optimistic, driven. READ MORE When did you last get angry? I don't think I get angry. From what I said already, I'm pretty laid-back, even when it comes to people. I'm never going to let someone's actions change my emotions. The way I see it is if people are acting odd or strange, it's not in my control. There's only so much I can control in my life, and I'm not going to let someone else change the way I live. What have you lost that you would like to have back? Some things I miss are having interactions that are completely anonymous. I'd never call myself famous. I would say I'm probably on an E-list of being well-known, but I've noticed that people can have preconceived ideas of you, if they meet you and they know who you are. When people pop up from my past, they now know me as a different person, which sometimes is difficult to navigate. Do people tap me on the shoulder and ask for selfies? It happens, but it's not something I have control over, and it's not something that bothers me too much. I'm not playing a character when I go out into the real world. I always show up as myself. As I said, I'm E-List. I'm not Brad Pitt! What's your strongest childhood memory? It was probably picking up my pug, from Kenturk, Co Cork, when I was 12 years old. Clara was the size of a potato when we collected her, waddling along the footpath outside SuperValu. I got her before I started secondary school, and even during times when I didn't have a whole lot of friends, she was always there. Where do you come in your family's birth order and has this defined you in any way? I'm the youngest, which I don't think has changed my life too much. I don't expect to get given anything. I always believe in working hard for what you have. I have one sister, who is four years older than me. I think we've gotten closer over the past few years, especially since finishing school. We both went to college in Galway, and if I was between classes, I would have gone to her house to chill out. She's one of my best friends at this point. What do you expect to happen when you die? Short answer? Nothing. It might sound uninformed, but I don't think that far ahead because all I have is right now. [ Jerry Fish: 'I'm a London-born Dub but I discovered most of my DNA is from exactly where I now live' Opens in new window ] When were you happiest? The fact that I get to wake up every day and do something I love doing and live a life I want to live is more like fulfilment than happiness, but I really like my life, so I'd say I'm happy every day. Which actor would play you in a biopic about your life? I almost can't think of anyone young enough. I'll go with Michael B Jordan for a laugh. I like him. I watched Sinners recently; it's a good film. What's your biggest career/personal regret? I wouldn't say I have any. I get to live my life how I want to live it, and I get to work for myself and a job I love doing. One of my biggest goals in life, when it's all said and done, is that I don't want to ever look back and have any regrets. I don't want to look back and say that I should have worked harder, which is why I'm working particularly hard right now. But as of right now, I don't have any. Have you any psychological quirks? If I find something funny, it'll be a joke to me, and even if other people don't find it funny, I'll run the joke to death just because I enjoy it. Yeah, I'll keep going.
